Are there particular parts that overlap between IE's DOM and the

Several, yeah. Most important is the events model.
Thanks for pointing it out. The handling of whitespace is also quite
different.
Oh, without overlap everything would be fine and dandy. However,
consider how many scripts would break with just the simple change of
including all newline/whitespace text nodes in the DOM... Sure, any
sensibly coded script won't break because of this sense because it's
already coded so that a single piece of code handles both cases. But
everything that does a browser check and forks will suddenly fail. And
I think we all know that the vast majority of scripts out there aren't
sensibly coded.
Exactly. IE needs a new DOM.
